RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 031,256, filed Apr. 18, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,216.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with this invention there is provided a group of 7,8-dihydro-2,5,8-trisubstituted-7-oxo-pyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid derivatives which act as gastric anti-secretory agents, by virtue of which they are useful in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Many of the compounds of this invention also exhibit anti-allergy activity, by virtue of which they are useful in the prophylactic suppression of allergic manifestations in warm-blooded animals.

As anti-secretory agents, the compounds of this invention reduce (1) total gastric volume, (2) hydrogen ion secretion, or (3) hydrogen ion concentration. The reduction of any one of these parameters aids in attenuating the general debilitating influence of a peptic ulcer in humans. The use of compounds exhibiting anti-secretory activity in the curative and/or prophylactic treatment of peptic ulcer disease is an established, beneficial procedure.

As anti-allergy agents, the compounds of this invention suppress the manifestations of an allergic response of the atopic immediate hypersensitivity type in warm-blooded, sensitized animals when administered prior to an allergic attack. Although the mechanism of action is not known, it is believed that the anti-allergy agents of this invention function in the same manner as disodium cromoglycate (INTAL) to block reaction(s) within mast cells, thereby preventing the production and release of mediators such as Bradykinin, SRS-A (slow reacting substance-A), histamine and other unknown substances. The suppression of allergic manifestations is a desirable treatment in both human and domestic warm-blooded animals such as the mouse, rat, hamster, gerbil, dog, cat, sheep, goat, horse and cow.

Each of the anti-secretory agents of this invention is active in the following scientifically recognized, standard test for gastric anti-secretory activity:

Male Charles River rats of Sprague-Dawley strain and 190 to 240 grams body weight are food deprived for 24 hours with water ad libitum until the test. Groups of ten rats each are assigned to either control or drug treatment. Pyloric ligation was performed under ether anesthesia through a midline laparotomy, and either control vehicle (0.25 methylcellulose) or drug in control vehicle was administered intraduodenally (i.d.). The rats are sacrificed by CO₂ asphyxiation four hours after pyloric ligation. The stomachs are removed and the gastric contents emptied into graduated centrifuge tubes. The gastric samples are centrifuged for 20 minutes and those obviously contaminated by food, blood or feces are discarded. The volume of gastric fluid is recorded and the acid concentration of 1.0 milliliter sample aliquots is measured by electrometric titration to pH 7.0 with 0.1 N NaOH. The calculated product of gastric volume (ml/4 hr) and acid concentration (mEq/L) estimates the total acid output (TAO, mEq/4 hr) over the four-hour test period. An analysis of variance is performed on these data to determine statistically significant (p<0.05) deviation between control versus drug-treated groups.

Those compounds indicated above to be anti-allergy agents have demonstrated ability to relieve allergic manifestations when administered intraperitoneally to sensitized rats. Several of the compounds tested were found to be effective anti-allergy agents when administered orally to the sensitized animals.

The technique employed to establish the anti-allergic activity of the disclosed compounds is reported in Immunology, vol. 16, pp. 749-760 (1969) and involves four male Charles River rats (200-250 grams body weight) per group to provide a control, a host for administration of a standard anti-allergic compound (disodium cromoglycate) and animals for the test compound. The rats were injected intracutaneously on their shaved backs with sera from rats immunized with egg albumin and pertussis vaccine. Twenty-four hours after the initial injections, the test compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally at a dosage level of 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight. Five minutes later (unless otherwise indicated) one milliliter of a 0.5 percent solution of Evans blue dye and 8 milligrams of egg albumin is injected intravenously. After forty minutes, the animal is sacrificed and the bleb size on its back is measured. The mean bleb size for the animals administered the test compound is calculated and the percent inhibition is determined by comparison with the control animal.

Thus, the compounds disclosed herein are useful in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and/or for symptomatic relief of atopic immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Where the two conditions occur simultaneously in the same patient, the compounds of this invention hold out the decided advantage of single compound therapeutic administration for both problems. Where the conditions occur separately, the second activity of the compounds is either inconsequential, as treatment of a non-sensitized animal with an anti-allergy agent, or of no deleterious effect that would be contraindicative of applicability of the treatment, as a decrease in total gastric acid output in an allergic animal does not preclude prophylactic treatment of the allergy. For either use, the dosage regimen will vary with the mode of administration, size and age of the subject treated as well as the severity of the dysfunction. Thus, administration of the compounds of this invention must be under the guidance and instruction of a physician, or in the case of treatment of domestic animals, a veterinarian.

The compounds of this invention may be administered by conventional oral or parenteral routes as solids, liquids or nebulized suspensions. Conventional adjuvants known to the art may be combined with the anti-secretory, anti-allergy agents of this invention to provide compositions and solutions for administrative purposes, although it is considered desirable and feasible to use neat or pure compounds without additives other than for the purpose of providing suitable pharmaceutically acceptable solution or liquid or vapor suspensions. Toward that end, those compounds which contain a basic amino substituent may be converted to pharmaceutically acceptable salts with such acids as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, methane sulfonic, nitric, p-toluene sulfonic, acetic, citric, maleic, succinic acid, and the like.

The following examples are presented to illustrate the production of representative compounds of this invention. After each example, the anti-secretory activity expressed as the percent inhibition of gastric total acid output at a dose of 32 milligrams per kilogram intraduodenal (i.d.) is presented for the exemplified compound. Likewise, the anti-allergy activity expressed as the percent inhibition of allergic response at the stated dose and route of administration, either intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral (p.o.), is given for the exemplified compound where applicable.
